Quickly checking in

Well, I've gotten bad about keeping up with this blog. Partly, though, there hasn't been that much to tell. The first few months I was doing a lot of exciting new things, but then winter came and I settled into my routine, and I don't think anyone really wants to hear about how I got up, had breakfast, went to work, came home, made dinner and went to sleep. 

It's almost spring here. It's kind of battling its way in. We keep having these infuriatingly spring-like days that turn into snowstorms or rainstorms, and then it plunges back into winter. But it's getting there. March is the end of the school year in Japan, and the 3rd years are graduating, in about 2 weeks actually. Then the other students finish at the end of March. We get two weeks of spring break, then the new year starts in April. There will be a whole new class of 1st years coming in. I know most of them already, because I teach at the two elementary schools that feed into my JHS. So I'm hoping that will be a plus.

There really isn't very much going on for me to write about. Since it's been so cold, no one has been really up for traveling. Hopefully we'll start traveling again in March as it warms up, so I will have some interesting stories to tell. 

Well, this was a thoroughly uninteresting post. Sorry.
